Does the name fit?

Interesting shape!

Perhaps they should have renamed this model "Bulbous," or even "Ponderous."

I think it might be an Eb tuba/saxhorn thing, but I am not 600+ dollars curious!

Poking around amongst pictures, I didn't find anything real illuminating. Klaus had one of a little Bohland & Fuchs "Majestic" baritone, looks nothing like this. Horn-u-copia has a variety of items, no obvious connection. The interesting one was an EEb contrabass helicon - below BBb - for players with strong backs only.

Ouch!

This looks like the source material for AI generated tuba imagery.

It would be a cool wall hanger, or rafter hanger, if you are into the Cracker Barrel aesthetic.

I showed this to my wife.

"It's too round. It's kind of obscene."

Obscene?

I'm so confused.

I can't answer for her, but we both agreed it was an odd looking instrument.

It isn't obscene, it's ... well ... this is a euphonium that's "all horn."

I'm more struck by the finish, superficially looks like a weirdly dull matte silver, flakes off in patches like nickel, or lacquer.

Wild price, €736.77 for a dented, flaking 3V baritone with the third valve broken in some way. Maybe it's for an erotic wall hanger, can't put a price on that.

In some circles anyone talking about their "instrument" would immediately be labeled as obscene.

Especially organists.

That said, i am sure intrigued. I don't think i've seen another Eb with the valves level with the top bow.

And thanks! Reverb listing is cheaper than ebay listing, as is the shipping.

You guys are coming ever so close to the line of activating the Tuba God.
